Larson, Male Chorus Climax Missions Week
After Decision--What Then?
"After decision — what then?" will be the subject of Dana M. Lar-son's
address in the All-Student Rally tonight at 7 p.m. in the college
chapel.
In this last service of Missions Emphasis Week, the Rev. Mr. Lar-son,
missionary to Assam, India, will endeavor to tell what preparations
to make between the time a student decides to go to the foreign field
and the time he is actually sent out. He will also stress the obligation
that each one has to be "alive" spritually here at home in order to be
an effective missionary.
The male chorus will provide
special music for tonight's service.
They will sing, "I Am With You"
b y Harkness, "Fight the Good
Fight" by Boyd and "Perfect
Peace" by Caldbeck.
In this morning's chapel service,
Herman G. Tegenfeldt, missionary
to Burma, spoke on 'God's Plan
for Me," in which he emphasized
t h e importance of seeking a n d
obeying God's will.
During the week, Home and For-eign
Missions have been presented
by Garnet Jenkins from Canada,
Walfred Danielson, former General
Conference Missions Secretary
Robert Klingberg, Associate Home
Missions Secretary, and the Rev.
Mr. Larson and the Rev. Mr. Tegen-feldt.
Other missions workers par-ticipated
in panel discussions.

Christian Service
Activities Increase
According t o a recent report
given by Robert Featherstone, di-rector
of Christian service activi
ties, gospel team work as well as
other Christian service activities
increased last quarter o v e r the
same period in 1952.
Covering the period from Sep-tember
30 through December 19,
there were 160 assignments made
in 1953 compared to 90 in 1952,
and 155 different students partici-pated
last quarter over 98 in 1952.
Of the 160 assignments, 104 were
in the Twin Cities, and 56 were
outside of the Cities.
In this report, it was indicated
that there was a 77% increase in
assignments and a 58% increase in
the number of students used. A
marked increase was also noted in
the calls for gospel teams from
the Twin City Conference churches
and from the non - Conference
churches outside the Cities.

Dr. Lorenz Eitner, professor of
art at the University of Minnesota,
will lecture next Wednesday, Jan-uary
20 in the Student Center
Lounge at 8 p.m.
"What makes a work of art
great" is the topic on which Dr.
Eitner will speak, and along with
the lecture, he will project slides
illustrating both good and bad
works of art. In presenting his
subject, Dr. Eitner will discuss
many of the great paintings both
old and new—their quality, con-tent
and form.
Dr. Eitner, who was born in
Australia, came to the United
States in 1935, did most of his
graduate work at Princeton Uni-versity,
receiving his Ph. D. there
in History of Art, and began
teaching at the University of Min-nesota
in 1949. The courses which
he teaches at the university in-clude
Survey of Ancient and Me-dieval
Art, Modern Painting, and
introductory art courses.
Next Wednesday's program is
sponsored by the Cultural Council.
Bill Slivka, chairman of the coun-cil,
urges all students to attend
this lecture.
Dr. Elving Anderson
Students Urged
To Buy Books
Mrs. Walfred Peterson, manag-er
of the bookstore, has requested
that students who haven't as yet
purchased their textbooks do so
immediately. Many students will
have to buy new books for the
last part of the quarter, but they
should be purchased now, as all
unused books will be returned to
the publishers the end of this
month.
Once these books are returned
to the publisher, it takes at least
two weeks to reorder them. There-fore,
students are urged to check
the book lists available in the
bookstore for all bookstore for
all books needed during the quar-ter.
The ceremony at the university,
campus marks the latest goal in
a course of scholastic endeavors
going back to 1939, when Elving
Anderson enrolled in Bethel Jun-ior
College. At first he planned to
go into the gospel ministry, and
he had a student pastorate for a
time during his seminary training.
However, when he received his
Bachelor of Arts degree from the
Unniversity of Minnesota in 1945
and Dean Carlson asked him to
teach at Bethel, he accepted the
job. Here he felt he fitted better.
"I like the classroom situation,"
he says; "you can check your work
and evaluate the results of your
teaching as a pastor cannot." He
continutd -teaching at Bethel aad
studying at the University, and
got his Master of Science degree
in 1949.
Now Dr. Anderson plans to
make Bethel the place of his
teaching career. On the side, he
would like to keep on with re-search
at the University such as
he has been doing for the past
five years.
When asked how it felt to be
a Ph. D., Anderson replied, "I
think that high school graudation
is the most thrilling one. After
that the graduations start coming
along every few years."
Dr. Anderson is the second Be-thel
College professor to receive
a degree since the beginning of
the school year. Paul Grabill re-ceived
a Ph. D. from the Univer-sity
of Illinois on September 26,
1953.
V. Elving Anderson Receives
Doctor of Philosophy Degree
V. Elving Anderson, Bethel College's assistant professor of zoo-logy,
passed a milestone in his career last December 17 when the Un-iversity
of Minnesota conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Phil-osophy.
Dr. Anderson majored in zoology, minored in physiology. His doc-toral
thesis, which will be published in the near future when he has
included more data, was on the heredity of human breast cancer.

Page 2 THE CLARION
Editorial
"Honor to whom honor is due." This an-cient
adage is not intended as a rational
ization for empty flattery, but it should
rather typify the expressed appreciation
of those grateful for a job well done. Re-cently
two moves by two campus groups
deserve a note of rightful recognition (per-haps
the one more than the other, though
both are significant).
The planning, programming, and adver-tising
activities carried on by the F M F
in preparation and presentation of Mission-ary
Emphasis Week merits a word of ap-preciation.
The displays of souveniers and
relics from the mission fields set up in the
student lounge have succeeded in giving a
better-than-average picture o f interesting
sidelines on the mission fields. The frontal
decoration of the chapel has been very
unique in impressing on-lookers with the
global aspects of the cause of Christ.
In short, due to the commendable efforts
of the F M F it could be well said that
Bethel campus has been made increasingly
conscious o f world - wide missions. The
CLARION takes this opportunity in ex-pressing
a sincere note of gratitude for
this splendidly executed project.
The other action which deserves mention
and recognition is that taken by the com-mittee
of the junior class that decided the
choice of the junior class play for this year.
The selection of "The Tragedy of Julius
Caesar" by William Shakespeare and
"Samson Agonistes" by John Milton indi-cates
an upward trend.
This action arouses the earnest hope
within many of us that a high caliber play
from the cultural standpoint might become
a traditon for years to come. Perhaps at
last we have grown out of the idea that
the high school type drama should set the
pace for college level appreciation.
Such an undertaking by the junior
class ought to be carefully encouraged by
-- students and faculty. This year's effort
may be considered an experiment. Its suc-cess
will inevitably enrich the college year.
Abt Vogler
by Allen Hubin
(Editor's note: This issue will feature the
first of four essays representative of the
creative genius found in each of the college
classes. The first prize-winning essay is
authored by Allen Hubin, a freshman honor
student from English communications
class.)
The room was an uproar, etc., as the roof
came tumbling down. Now is the time for
all good men to come to the aid of their
room. Pick up the peaces, men. Peace on
earth good will to rooms. I've got plenty
of room (empty room) in my attic, which
peace on earth must be for. I am coming
apart in peaces, which are of different
sizes, as variety is the spice of life. Roll,
rowl, role you boat jently downe the beam.
Question mark. (Fowl miserable missprint.)
At this point the doctor came in and in-quired
if all was well. We all stated in a
documentary report (the doctor used chest-erfields,
contrary to all propaganda to the
contrary to the contrary. which may seem
to be repitition but it is done for emphasis)
that we were in excellent shapes and we
held up the botles too prove it. The doctor
left through the window because the cops
were coming in the door. They left through
the window also. And speaking of windows,
what are your views on courtship. Nudder
question mark. After awhile we swept up
the wreckage and found a guy under it. We
asked him what he was doing there and he
said that he was gold assayer for the dis-trict,
and asked us if we had any old gold.
We said yes and handed him one. Then the
doctor came back and the assayer and the
doctor left fighting. Then peice (phoo!)
piece rained as Wally Pete came up and
crowned everyone. All in all it was for the
birds.
by Friedhelm Radandt
I had the opportunity of spending
Christmas vacation with international stu-dents
at Bear Trap Ranch in the Rocky
Mountains of Colorado.
There I met international students from
Egypt, Chile, India, Malaya, Japan, Indo-china,
Philippines, China, Finland, Ger-many,
Panama, Formosa, Palestine, Hawaii,
and Australia.
I remember that when I for the first
time had entered the log cabin and was
still standing in the open door and shak-ing
off the snow of my shoes and coat,
another student walked up beside me and
said, "I am Jimmie, I'se from Hongkong."
I turned around, somewhat startled by this
rather interesting introduction, but when
I met Jimmie's searching eyes, I also told
him my name. And when we then looked
through the open door, looked onto those
snowy mountains till our eyes reached the
top, I was really glad to be here.
This was my first acquaintance with
Jimmie. Later on in our conversation
Jimmie, who comes from a home where
ancestor worship is practiced, remarked:
"I would like to have a religion in order
to overcome the emptiness in my life."
Or Bisham, a student from India, a mem-ber
of a Brahman family, "I wish I could
believe in a just God. I want to go back
to India and want to help to push forward
the industrial development of my country.
But I am afraid that I won't be very
effective, as long as I have no spiritual
backing up. And India is a land where
those spiritual and intellectual values are
much more prevalent than those material
values."
Besides Hinduism and Christianity there
were also Mohammedanism and Buddhism
and several philosophical systems about
God and man represented in our midst.
They all showed great respect for Jesus
Christ. Again I saw something of the un-iversality
of our great Lord Jesus Christ
had many things of importance to say to
us.
And when Cesar, who came from Pana-ma
and studies architecture—he was often
sketching a building or a scenery—rec-ognized
that Jesus Christ was the answer
to his search, he explained, "Friedhelm, I
do not understand everything about Chris-tianity,
but I do want to receive Jesus
Christ, the gift of salvation."
Cesar and I sat down. We opened the
Bible and listened to God's Word. Togeth-er
we prayed- for forgiveness of sins in
Cesar's life.
The next day Cesar told me how glad
he was that now he could be sure about
his salvation. "I am glad that I do not have
to worry longer about salvation. But I
want to be grateful to Jesus Christ. I
think that I owe him my whole life."
This was a rather unusually rich week
when we in discussion talked about our
home countries, about our impressions of
America and the American people.

"not counting Sun.
and holidays"
by Don Richardson
Born in the autumn of 1950 as an over-flow
activity of a local church young peo-ples'
group, the Bethel Tract Team thrived
in its infancy. Its parents were unimpor-tant
people. Only one could even be class-ed
a student leader; many were freshmen.
It had no official guardian.
Its first year was a miracle. Though ex-posed
often to sub-zero temperatures for an
hour or more at a time in downtown MM-neapolis
and St Paul, it continued to gain
strength. While yet an infant it success-fully
entered the arena with competitive
activities. Soon it gained campus-wide re-cognition
and seemed able to stand at last.
The next three years found it continual-ly
popping up in Bethel student life. How-ever,
its first strength began to waver.
From an unexplainable source some form
of cancerous disease was starting to take
hold. It became less able to stand the
cold and good weather; it could no longer
shoulder competition. It made several ef-forts
to regain its former strength, but
such efforts did not last long enough.
Now, at 'length, the wasting process is
complete. The Tract Team is dead.
Its grave has been bedecked with few
wreathes, and its epitaph contains a
line, "It was a noble experiment." But
for those who were closest to the Tract
Team it was more than a noble experi-ment.
For some it was the incentive for
• their first witness for Christ; for others
it provided a step to spiritual growth; for
others it was a ladder to Christian leader-ship;
for several forgotten people it was
the agent of divine grace. These lament
its passing and rightly so.
The Value of
An Education
by Rip Moore
Our inquiring- reporter heard the other
day about one of the fine arts of student-craft
which has been flourishing at Bethel
for some eighty years. His curiosity ar-oused,
he began inquiring of various stu-dents,
"What is meant by 'padding' class
papers?" Here are some of the answers
he got:
A freshman: "Padding a paper means
using unnecessary words to make it long-er."
A sophomore: "Padding a paper means
putting more words into it than you need,
in order to make it appear that you have
more material than you really do."
A junior: "Padding is an expression that
denotes the practice of using long and
superfluous words to express an essential-ly
simple idea, for the purpose of adding
bulk to a paper for which the student has
actually exerted himself very little to gath-er
material."
A senior: "Padding refers to the very
excessively (and unnecessarily) lengthy
phrases, the literary allusions "full of
sound and fury, signifying nothing," the
elaborately erudite circumlocutions em-ployed
to clothe with a false aura of know-ledge
a motley conglomeration of half-thought
thoughts and vapid generaliza-tions,
that the wily student fills his pages
with when faced with the task of writing
a thousand words for the professor and
having, to put it frankly, absolutely noth-ing
to say."
Friday, January 15, 1954
by President Wingblade
It is said that seventy percent of the
people who fail, fail because they cannot
get along with other people. And how true
it is that the age-long problem among
men and nations is the problem of "getting
along." Hence, all the dissension among
men and the warfare among nations.
And the reason is selfishness ; which
expresses itself in . pride and envy and
covetousness. A minor reason also is
thoughtlessness.
But Christians should get along, of
course. "Let this mind be in you which
was also in Christ Jesus." What was that
mind? Humility, subserviance to the FathL
er in all things,—and in the program of
redemption! -
There is nothing so beautiful under
heaven today as--the yielded life. "A body
hast thou prepared. Lo, I come to do thy
will."
We recall again the great music master,
who said to his pupil: "You have gone as
far as I can take you. You have a splend-id
voice. Your technique is good, your
method, your interpretation. Now go out
and get your heart broken—then you can
sing."
Yes, we must be willing to be "broken
bread and poured out wine" if we really
are to serve. Our ears must be atune to
the "still, sad music of humanity."
At a summer assembly a Christian girl
was assigned to share a room with a
colored girl. She said, "I won't!" and rush-ed
to the room to pack her suitcase and
leave.
When she got there the colored girl
was all aglow. "Oh, I am so glad to room
with a fine Christian girl. We will have
such .a good time!"
The other, ashamed and humbled, set-tled
down and they had a wonderful time!

Dear Editor,
This year we have had a high opinion of
the feature page of the CLARION, but
we couldn't help noticing a flaw of policy
in this recent contest between the various
classes of the college. Due to the some-what
vague editor's nate, it was very hard
to understand the exact basis of judgment
and selection. This would have made it
easier for contestants to compose their es-says.
Also we wonder if it was as well pub-licized
as it might have been. Something as
important as this should have •had a couple
posters at least. And too, would it not have
been much better if the essay of the seniors
had appeared first since they are the most
advanced class a n d should have pre-eminence?
We will admit the need and worth of
this contest and also the literary merit in
the essays published, but we think the
above criticisms deserve attention.

Bethel Enrollment
Shows Increase
Twenty-nine new students have
been added to the college and
seminary enrollments for the win-ter
quarter, according to the
Dean's office.
Twenty-four are in the college
and seven in the seminary. Two
of them are enrolled in both. Of
the new students thirteen are wo-men
and sixteen are men. Ten of
the new students formerly attend-ed
Bethel.
Bethel is the only school of the
St. Paul colleges and the Univer-sity
of Minnesota, which doesn't
show a decrease in the winter
quarter, the St. Paul Pioneer
Press stated on January 10.
The article also said, "Bethel,
in a rapid state of growth, cur-rently
has a record attendance of
600 students in the college and
seminary."

Saturday night Bethel won its first athletic contest of the year. It
was a lackadaisical performance that in many ways looked more like
a satire of basketball instead of an actual contest.
The first quarter was the most game-like quarter but it rapidly
regressed into a rat race which found Bethel leading at the final
whistle 84-51.

Gene Messenger
Paul Redin (pictured to the
right) is another of the few letter-men
who is back for the current
hoop season with the Royals. A
sophomore, 19 years old, and a
math major, Paul has an enviable
record from high school as an all-conference
player (he's from Ke-wanee,
Ill.).
"We certainly have the material
for a good club," Paul explained,
"but we're in drastic need of ex-perience
which any teams hurts
without." When discussing the
fact that there are only four let-termen
on the team he felt, along
with the other sports enthusiasts,
that we can't expect any more
until there's a drawing card for
those students interested in ath-letics.
It is generally agreed that
the "drawing card" would be a
physical education major:

Twenty-one years old, the

editor of the CLARION, Gene em-phasized
the extreme importance
of a physical education major on
Bethel's curriculum. He pointed
out that there is little hope for a
successful record o r future f o r
the Royals until something h a s

have the experience necessary for
any good team. In reference to an
enthusiastic response f r o m the

be enthusiastic about. Outclassed
competition hardly affords that.

In Intra-murals
Bethel's intra-mural program
started last Saturday without much
interest on the part of the Bethel
campus. It was discouraging to
note the small number of students
who turned out to play.
The games were not well plan-ned.
No referees and no scor-keepers
often left the players in
air as to what they were actually
doing except that they were hav-ing
snatch at each other, often re-sembling
a brawl.
More planning is the keynote
for the future. It is hoped that
the same live interest in intra-mural
contest of the past can be
generated in this year's enthus-iasts.
Last week West beat East, Min-nesota
beat Michigan, and Illinois
lost to Iowa Platte Valley.

After Decision--What Then?
"After decision — what then?" will be the subject of Dana M. Lar-son's
address in the All-Student Rally tonight at 7 p.m. in the college
chapel.
In this last service of Missions Emphasis Week, the Rev. Mr. Lar-son,
missionary to Assam, India, will endeavor to tell what preparations
to make between the time a student decides to go to the foreign field
and the time he is actually sent out. He will also stress the obligation
that each one has to be "alive" spritually here at home in order to be
an effective missionary.
The male chorus will provide
special music for tonight's service.
They will sing, "I Am With You"
b y Harkness, "Fight the Good
Fight" by Boyd and "Perfect
Peace" by Caldbeck.
In this morning's chapel service,
Herman G. Tegenfeldt, missionary
to Burma, spoke on 'God's Plan
for Me," in which he emphasized
t h e importance of seeking a n d
obeying God's will.
During the week, Home and For-eign
Missions have been presented
by Garnet Jenkins from Canada,

Christian Service
Activities Increase
According t o a recent report
given by Robert Featherstone, di-rector
of Christian service activi
ties, gospel team work as well as
other Christian service activities
increased last quarter o v e r the
same period in 1952.
Covering the period from Sep-tember
30 through December 19,
there were 160 assignments made
in 1953 compared to 90 in 1952,
and 155 different students partici-pated
last quarter over 98 in 1952.
Of the 160 assignments, 104 were
in the Twin Cities, and 56 were
outside of the Cities.
In this report, it was indicated
that there was a 77% increase in
assignments and a 58% increase in
the number of students used. A
marked increase was also noted in
the calls for gospel teams from
the Twin City Conference churches
and from the non - Conference
churches outside the Cities.

Dr. Lorenz Eitner, professor of
art at the University of Minnesota,
will lecture next Wednesday, Jan-uary
20 in the Student Center
Lounge at 8 p.m.
"What makes a work of art
great" is the topic on which Dr.
Eitner will speak, and along with
the lecture, he will project slides
illustrating both good and bad
works of art. In presenting his
subject, Dr. Eitner will discuss
many of the great paintings both
old and new—their quality, con-tent
and form.
Dr. Eitner, who was born in
Australia, came to the United
States in 1935, did most of his
graduate work at Princeton Uni-versity,
receiving his Ph. D. there
in History of Art, and began
teaching at the University of Min-nesota
in 1949. The courses which
he teaches at the university in-clude
Survey of Ancient and Me-dieval
Art, Modern Painting, and
introductory art courses.
Next Wednesday's program is
sponsored by the Cultural Council.
Bill Slivka, chairman of the coun-cil,
urges all students to attend
this lecture.
Dr. Elving Anderson
Students Urged
To Buy Books
Mrs. Walfred Peterson, manag-er
of the bookstore, has requested
that students who haven't as yet
purchased their textbooks do so
immediately. Many students will
have to buy new books for the
last part of the quarter, but they
should be purchased now, as all
unused books will be returned to
the publishers the end of this
month.
Once these books are returned
to the publisher, it takes at least
two weeks to reorder them. There-fore,
students are urged to check
the book lists available in the
bookstore for all bookstore for
all books needed during the quar-ter.
The ceremony at the university,
campus marks the latest goal in
a course of scholastic endeavors
going back to 1939, when Elving
Anderson enrolled in Bethel Jun-ior
College. At first he planned to
go into the gospel ministry, and
he had a student pastorate for a
time during his seminary training.
However, when he received his
Bachelor of Arts degree from the
Unniversity of Minnesota in 1945
and Dean Carlson asked him to
teach at Bethel, he accepted the
job. Here he felt he fitted better.
"I like the classroom situation,"
he says; "you can check your work
and evaluate the results of your
teaching as a pastor cannot." He
continutd -teaching at Bethel aad
studying at the University, and
got his Master of Science degree
in 1949.
Now Dr. Anderson plans to
make Bethel the place of his
teaching career. On the side, he
would like to keep on with re-search
at the University such as
he has been doing for the past
five years.
When asked how it felt to be
a Ph. D., Anderson replied, "I
think that high school graudation
is the most thrilling one. After
that the graduations start coming
along every few years."
Dr. Anderson is the second Be-thel
College professor to receive
a degree since the beginning of
the school year. Paul Grabill re-ceived
a Ph. D. from the Univer-sity
of Illinois on September 26,
1953.
V. Elving Anderson Receives
Doctor of Philosophy Degree
V. Elving Anderson, Bethel College's assistant professor of zoo-logy,
passed a milestone in his career last December 17 when the Un-iversity
of Minnesota conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Phil-osophy.
Dr. Anderson majored in zoology, minored in physiology. His doc-toral
thesis, which will be published in the near future when he has
included more data, was on the heredity of human breast cancer.

Page 2 THE CLARION
Editorial
"Honor to whom honor is due." This an-cient
adage is not intended as a rational
ization for empty flattery, but it should
rather typify the expressed appreciation
of those grateful for a job well done. Re-cently
two moves by two campus groups
deserve a note of rightful recognition (per-haps
the one more than the other, though
both are significant).
The planning, programming, and adver-tising
activities carried on by the F M F
in preparation and presentation of Mission-ary
Emphasis Week merits a word of ap-preciation.
The displays of souveniers and
relics from the mission fields set up in the
student lounge have succeeded in giving a
better-than-average picture o f interesting
sidelines on the mission fields. The frontal
decoration of the chapel has been very
unique in impressing on-lookers with the
global aspects of the cause of Christ.
In short, due to the commendable efforts
of the F M F it could be well said that
Bethel campus has been made increasingly
conscious o f world - wide missions. The
CLARION takes this opportunity in ex-pressing
a sincere note of gratitude for
this splendidly executed project.
The other action which deserves mention
and recognition is that taken by the com-mittee
of the junior class that decided the
choice of the junior class play for this year.
The selection of "The Tragedy of Julius
Caesar" by William Shakespeare and
"Samson Agonistes" by John Milton indi-cates
an upward trend.
This action arouses the earnest hope
within many of us that a high caliber play
from the cultural standpoint might become
a traditon for years to come. Perhaps at
last we have grown out of the idea that
the high school type drama should set the
pace for college level appreciation.
Such an undertaking by the junior
class ought to be carefully encouraged by
-- students and faculty. This year's effort
may be considered an experiment. Its suc-cess
will inevitably enrich the college year.

(Editor's note: This issue will feature the
first of four essays representative of the
creative genius found in each of the college
classes. The first prize-winning essay is
authored by Allen Hubin, a freshman honor
student from English communications
class.)
The room was an uproar, etc., as the roof
came tumbling down. Now is the time for
all good men to come to the aid of their
room. Pick up the peaces, men. Peace on
earth good will to rooms. I've got plenty
of room (empty room) in my attic, which
peace on earth must be for. I am coming
apart in peaces, which are of different
sizes, as variety is the spice of life. Roll,
rowl, role you boat jently downe the beam.
Question mark. (Fowl miserable missprint.)
At this point the doctor came in and in-quired
if all was well. We all stated in a
documentary report (the doctor used chest-erfields,
contrary to all propaganda to the
contrary to the contrary. which may seem
to be repitition but it is done for emphasis)
that we were in excellent shapes and we
held up the botles too prove it. The doctor
left through the window because the cops
were coming in the door. They left through
the window also. And speaking of windows,
what are your views on courtship. Nudder
question mark. After awhile we swept up
the wreckage and found a guy under it. We
asked him what he was doing there and he
said that he was gold assayer for the dis-trict,
and asked us if we had any old gold.
We said yes and handed him one. Then the
doctor came back and the assayer and the
doctor left fighting. Then peice (phoo!)
piece rained as Wally Pete came up and
crowned everyone. All in all it was for the
birds.

I had the opportunity of spending
Christmas vacation with international stu-dents
at Bear Trap Ranch in the Rocky
Mountains of Colorado.
There I met international students from
Egypt, Chile, India, Malaya, Japan, Indo-china,
Philippines, China, Finland, Ger-many,
Panama, Formosa, Palestine, Hawaii,
and Australia.
I remember that when I for the first
time had entered the log cabin and was
still standing in the open door and shak-ing
off the snow of my shoes and coat,
another student walked up beside me and
said, "I am Jimmie, I'se from Hongkong."
I turned around, somewhat startled by this
rather interesting introduction, but when
I met Jimmie's searching eyes, I also told
him my name. And when we then looked
through the open door, looked onto those
snowy mountains till our eyes reached the
top, I was really glad to be here.
This was my first acquaintance with
Jimmie. Later on in our conversation
Jimmie, who comes from a home where
ancestor worship is practiced, remarked:
"I would like to have a religion in order
to overcome the emptiness in my life."
Or Bisham, a student from India, a mem-ber
of a Brahman family, "I wish I could
believe in a just God. I want to go back
to India and want to help to push forward
the industrial development of my country.
But I am afraid that I won't be very
effective, as long as I have no spiritual
backing up. And India is a land where
those spiritual and intellectual values are
much more prevalent than those material
values."
Besides Hinduism and Christianity there
were also Mohammedanism and Buddhism
and several philosophical systems about
God and man represented in our midst.
They all showed great respect for Jesus
Christ. Again I saw something of the un-iversality
of our great Lord Jesus Christ
had many things of importance to say to
us.
And when Cesar, who came from Pana-ma
and studies architecture—he was often
sketching a building or a scenery—rec-ognized
that Jesus Christ was the answer
to his search, he explained, "Friedhelm, I
do not understand everything about Chris-tianity,
but I do want to receive Jesus
Christ, the gift of salvation."
Cesar and I sat down. We opened the
Bible and listened to God's Word. Togeth-er
we prayed- for forgiveness of sins in
Cesar's life.
The next day Cesar told me how glad
he was that now he could be sure about
his salvation. "I am glad that I do not have
to worry longer about salvation. But I
want to be grateful to Jesus Christ. I
think that I owe him my whole life."
This was a rather unusually rich week
when we in discussion talked about our
home countries, about our impressions of
America and the American people.

"not counting Sun.
and holidays"
by Don Richardson
Born in the autumn of 1950 as an over-flow
activity of a local church young peo-ples'
group, the Bethel Tract Team thrived
in its infancy. Its parents were unimpor-tant
people. Only one could even be class-ed
a student leader; many were freshmen.
It had no official guardian.
Its first year was a miracle. Though ex-posed
often to sub-zero temperatures for an
hour or more at a time in downtown MM-neapolis
and St Paul, it continued to gain
strength. While yet an infant it success-fully
entered the arena with competitive
activities. Soon it gained campus-wide re-cognition
and seemed able to stand at last.
The next three years found it continual-ly
popping up in Bethel student life. How-ever,
its first strength began to waver.
From an unexplainable source some form
of cancerous disease was starting to take
hold. It became less able to stand the
cold and good weather; it could no longer
shoulder competition. It made several ef-forts
to regain its former strength, but
such efforts did not last long enough.
Now, at 'length, the wasting process is
complete. The Tract Team is dead.
Its grave has been bedecked with few
wreathes, and its epitaph contains a
line, "It was a noble experiment." But
for those who were closest to the Tract
Team it was more than a noble experi-ment.
For some it was the incentive for
• their first witness for Christ; for others
it provided a step to spiritual growth; for
others it was a ladder to Christian leader-ship;
for several forgotten people it was
the agent of divine grace. These lament
its passing and rightly so.
The Value of
An Education
by Rip Moore
Our inquiring- reporter heard the other
day about one of the fine arts of student-craft
which has been flourishing at Bethel
for some eighty years. His curiosity ar-oused,
he began inquiring of various stu-dents,
"What is meant by 'padding' class
papers?" Here are some of the answers
he got:
A freshman: "Padding a paper means
using unnecessary words to make it long-er."
A sophomore: "Padding a paper means
putting more words into it than you need,
in order to make it appear that you have
more material than you really do."
A junior: "Padding is an expression that
denotes the practice of using long and
superfluous words to express an essential-ly
simple idea, for the purpose of adding
bulk to a paper for which the student has
actually exerted himself very little to gath-er
material."
A senior: "Padding refers to the very
excessively (and unnecessarily) lengthy
phrases, the literary allusions "full of
sound and fury, signifying nothing," the
elaborately erudite circumlocutions em-ployed
to clothe with a false aura of know-ledge
a motley conglomeration of half-thought
thoughts and vapid generaliza-tions,
that the wily student fills his pages
with when faced with the task of writing
a thousand words for the professor and
having, to put it frankly, absolutely noth-ing
to say."
Friday, January 15, 1954
by President Wingblade
It is said that seventy percent of the
people who fail, fail because they cannot
get along with other people. And how true
it is that the age-long problem among
men and nations is the problem of "getting
along." Hence, all the dissension among
men and the warfare among nations.
And the reason is selfishness ; which
expresses itself in . pride and envy and
covetousness. A minor reason also is
thoughtlessness.
But Christians should get along, of
course. "Let this mind be in you which
was also in Christ Jesus." What was that
mind? Humility, subserviance to the FathL
er in all things,—and in the program of
redemption! -
There is nothing so beautiful under
heaven today as--the yielded life. "A body
hast thou prepared. Lo, I come to do thy
will."
We recall again the great music master,
who said to his pupil: "You have gone as
far as I can take you. You have a splend-id
voice. Your technique is good, your
method, your interpretation. Now go out
and get your heart broken—then you can
sing."
Yes, we must be willing to be "broken
bread and poured out wine" if we really
are to serve. Our ears must be atune to
the "still, sad music of humanity."
At a summer assembly a Christian girl
was assigned to share a room with a
colored girl. She said, "I won't!" and rush-ed
to the room to pack her suitcase and
leave.
When she got there the colored girl
was all aglow. "Oh, I am so glad to room
with a fine Christian girl. We will have
such .a good time!"
The other, ashamed and humbled, set-tled
down and they had a wonderful time!

we couldn't help noticing a flaw of policy
in this recent contest between the various
classes of the college. Due to the some-what
vague editor's nate, it was very hard
to understand the exact basis of judgment
and selection. This would have made it
easier for contestants to compose their es-says.
Also we wonder if it was as well pub-licized
as it might have been. Something as
important as this should have •had a couple
posters at least. And too, would it not have
been much better if the essay of the seniors
had appeared first since they are the most
advanced class a n d should have pre-eminence?
We will admit the need and worth of
this contest and also the literary merit in
the essays published, but we think the
above criticisms deserve attention.

Elijah Rehearsal
"A very good rehearsal," was
the expression Mildred Bisgrove,
instructor in music, used to des-cribe
the first practice of the
oratorio choir.
Approximately 45 persons at-tended
last Monday's rehear sal
when work was begun on Mendel-ssohn's
"Elijah" which will be
oreented in the college chapel

All persons still interested in
singing in this group though not

where rehearsals are held.
Miss Bisgrove, director of the

church, but definite plans have
not been made as yet concerning
the date of presentation.

Bethel Enrollment
Shows Increase
Twenty-nine new students have
been added to the college and
seminary enrollments for the win-ter
quarter, according to the
Dean's office.
Twenty-four are in the college
and seven in the seminary. Two
of them are enrolled in both. Of
the new students thirteen are wo-men
and sixteen are men. Ten of
the new students formerly attend-ed
Bethel.
Bethel is the only school of the
St. Paul colleges and the Univer-sity
of Minnesota, which doesn't
show a decrease in the winter
quarter, the St. Paul Pioneer
Press stated on January 10.
The article also said, "Bethel,
in a rapid state of growth, cur-rently
has a record attendance of
600 students in the college and
seminary."

Saturday night Bethel won its first athletic contest of the year. It
was a lackadaisical performance that in many ways looked more like
a satire of basketball instead of an actual contest.
The first quarter was the most game-like quarter but it rapidly
regressed into a rat race which found Bethel leading at the final
whistle 84-51.

Gene Messenger
Paul Redin (pictured to the
right) is another of the few letter-men
who is back for the current
hoop season with the Royals. A
sophomore, 19 years old, and a
math major, Paul has an enviable
record from high school as an all-conference
player (he's from Ke-wanee,
Ill.).
"We certainly have the material
for a good club," Paul explained,
"but we're in drastic need of ex-perience
which any teams hurts
without." When discussing the
fact that there are only four let-termen
on the team he felt, along
with the other sports enthusiasts,
that we can't expect any more
until there's a drawing card for
those students interested in ath-letics.
It is generally agreed that
the "drawing card" would be a
physical education major:

Gene Messenger (pictured to the

five, is busy in his last season
of collegiate basketball as a se-nior.
Twenty-one years old, the
philosophy major is genuinely con-cerned
with the future of the Roy-als'
endeavors in all fields of the
athletic world. Last year, as sports
editor of the CLARION, Gene em-phasized
the extreme importance
of a physical education major on
Bethel's curriculum. He pointed
out that there is little hope for a
successful record o r future f o r
the Royals until something h a s
been done to keep those men who
have the experience necessary for
any good team. In reference to an
enthusiastic response f r o m the
school body, Gene explained we
must first give them something to
be enthusiastic about. Outclassed
competition hardly affords that.

In Intra-murals
Bethel's intra-mural program
started last Saturday without much
interest on the part of the Bethel
campus. It was discouraging to
note the small number of students
who turned out to play.
The games were not well plan-ned.
No referees and no scor-keepers
often left the players in
air as to what they were actually
doing except that they were hav-ing
snatch at each other, often re-sembling
a brawl.
More planning is the keynote
for the future. It is hoped that
the same live interest in intra-mural
contest of the past can be
generated in this year's enthus-iasts.
Last week West beat East, Min-nesota
beat Michigan, and Illinois
lost to Iowa Platte Valley.
